After saving the kingdom, defeating Bowser, and saving Peach (which was all typical); Peach declared to have a dinner in Mario's honor. She also invited Luigi to also honor him. Luigi hated formal dinners but agreed to go. That just meant that he didn't have to cook, especially if he was planning to leave Mushroom Kingdom soon. Polterpup looked up and saw that Luigi put on a black bow-tie and a black dress jacket.

Luigi asked, "How's it look?" Polterpup barked a few times, licking Luigi's face. Luigi laughed and said, "Okay, okay. Obviously I look great."

Polterpup panted, wagging its tail. Luigi laughed more as he played with his ghost pup and fed him before he left for the castle. He was glad that Polterpup was a ghost, there was no need to worry about pet hair. Although, it took Luigi awhile to get dry after the bunch of kisses that Polterpup gave him.

Luigi arrived at the castle and got a very big surprise. To start with and first off, Princess Daisy was there. She had long brown hair with stunning green eyes, wearing an orange princess dress and a golden tiara on top of her head with a ruby in it.

"D-Daisy," Luigi stammered, blushing.

Daisy smiled and blushed as she replied, "Hello, Luigi."

Luigi felt the need to bow, gaining a look of surprise on Daisy's face. 'Luigi never did that before,' she thought, 'What's with him?' That's when Mario and Princess Peach came over. Peach had long blonde hair with deep blue eyes, wearing a pink princess dress and a golden tiara with a light sapphire in it.

"There you are, bro," Mario said, with a sad smile.

"Glad that you made it," Peach said, sadly.

"What's with the long faces," Luigi asked, curious.

Mario took his hand and lead his baby brother to the dining hall. Everyone in the kingdom had turned out to be there. Above their heads was a banner that read: 'Goodbye, Luigi. We will miss you very much'. Luigi was almost in tears as he was really surprised by this. They were all here to say goodbye to him. Peach turned to Luigi with her sad smile on her face.

She explained, "After Mario told me that you were leaving soon, we knew that we all had to get together and say goodbye to you."

"Thank you, your majesty," Luigi said, as he bowed.

Peach was surprised as was everyone else and Luigi went over to the dinner. Eventually, the others joined him. Daisy kept glancing over at Luigi. She looked into his blue eyes and knew that something happened. Something that he was hiding. But what was it...? And why would he hide it from his brother, his best friend, and...her?

Meanwhile, King Bowser was hearing the commotion from the castle.

Bowser boomed, "What in the world is going on?!"

A Koopa reported, "Sir, it appears that all of the citizens of the kingdom have gathered at the castle."

"Mmmfh, probably to thank that no good Mario," Bowser said, gruffly.

The Koopa looked nervous as he stated, "Actually, it is to say goodbye to greenie, since he is leaving Mushroom Kingdom in a few days."

Bowser perked up at this as his eyes widen.

"Greenie is leaving," Bowser repeated, surprised.

The Koopa nodded and stated, "Yes, sometime by the end of this week."

Bowser smirked darkly and replied, "Well, what kind of neighbors would we be if we didn't give him a proper goodbye...?" The Koopa smiled at this as he nodded. Bowser stated, "Then, by the end of the week, greenie will have one heck of a send off party!"

With that, the evil king started to plot for the attack after cackling so evilly but it wasn't enough to gain the attention of the partying and dining toads of Mushroom Kingdom.

Speaking of the toads, most of them were taking and that's when Toadsworth came over to Luigi. He looked very sad. He placed his hand on Luigi's shoulder, capturing the green hated plumber's shoulder. Luigi looked up at him.

"We're going to miss you, sonny," Toadsworth said, choking back tears.

Both Manfredi brothers were like sons to him, even though he was too stubborn to admit it aloud. He felt the same about Peach and Daisy. Luigi smiled softly, bringing Toadsworth into a warm and gentle hug. Toadsworth couldn't hold it anymore. He started to cry, holding Luigi. Mario, Peach, and Daisy looked on at the sad scene with tears in their eyes.

Luigi pulled away from Toadsworth and said, tearing, "I'll miss you too...dad."

Toadsworth busted into tears, proud that Luigi called him that and sad that the youngest Mandfredi brother was leaving.

"I love you my son," Toadsworth cried.

"I love you too, dad," Luigi replied, sniffling.

Peach rubbed her eyes, tearing, as she approached Luigi. Luigi bowed in front of her again as some slow music started. Peach took his hand and he lead her out to the dance floor. The two danced slowly as Peach looked at Luigi, with tears in her eyes.

"We're all going to miss you, Luigi," Peach said, sadly.

Luigi stated, "I'm gonna miss you all too. But I have to do this. It is time I find out who I am."

'And step out of Mario's shadow without him remembering about King Boo or what happen with the ghosts and the professor,' the green hated plumber thought. Peach saw that Daisy approached them and looked at Peach, as if she was begging to dance with Luigi. Peach respectfully bowed to her as they traded places. Luigi feverishly blushed as they danced gracefully on the dance floor. It was like they were the only ones on the dance floor.

Daisy looked up at Luigi as she was extremely close to him. He leaned down as their lips touched. On that dance floor, the green hated plumber and the princess of Sarasaland shared their first dance and kiss.

After dinner and the dance, Luigi was finally home and a bit tired from the dinner and dance. He took off the bow-tie and jacket as Polterpup greeted his master with a ton of ghostly doggy kisses. Luigi laughed at this as someone in the shadows gasped at the sight. Luigi spun around, still holding Polterpup in his arms. Luigi's eyes went wide in shock as he saw the person standing in the shadows...
